The City of Phoenix is seeking a qualified consultant team to provide Engineering services for Papago Park and Phoenix Zoo Dams Formal Inspection Services project. Services will include design, consultant coordination, condition assessments, and inspection services. This project site is located at Papago Park and Phoenix Zoo boundaries, 625 N. Galvin Parkway. SECTION I - PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Street Transportation Department (Streets) inspects eight earthen dams in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve annually for the Parks and Recreation Department. Streets previously did an evaluation of the Papago dams for the Parks Department in or around 2009. Subsequent site visits demonstrate that conditions currently existing have not been addressed since that inspection. A site visit in 2022 was conducted to log the current condition of the dams, however much of the structures were not directly observable due to the variety of vegetation overgrowth and numerous undocumented alterations to the dams and the reservoirs that have occurred over the last 90 years. SECTION II - SCOPE OF WORK A detailed, formal inspection is crucial to determine the true current condition of the structures and catalog the maintenance items required to safely operate the structures. Given the daily foot traffic of visitors, and the cultural and economic significance of the Phoenix Zoo, the formal inspections should be urgently done to understand the current condition of the structures. The selected consultant will prepare for Formal Inspection of eight (8) dams within Papago Park and Phoenix Zoo properties. The formal inspections will be conducted by a multi-disciplinary team consisting of Dam Safety Professionals, Civil Engineers, Geotechnical Engineers, Structural Engineers, Hydrologist, Hydraulic Engineers, Dam Safety Action Planners, and specialty sub-consultants.
